Because workbench table thickness can vary, fasteners have not been supplied. • Temporary mounting can be accomplished by securing the base of the scroll saw to a piece of ⁄ " plywood that measures at least 21" x 14". The scroll saw/plywood assembly can then be temporarily clamped to a work- bench or other suitable working surface.
1. UNPLUG THE SCROLL SAW! 2. Turn the tension adjustment knob counter- clockwise to decrease the tension. 3. Remove the throat plate and slide the saw blade down through the table insert hole so the teeth face forward and down.
Using plain end blades requires the use of blade adapters. The blade adapters attach to each end of the saw blade, allowing plain end blade to be installed on the upper and lower blade holders. To install a plain end blade, do these steps: 1.
UNPLUG the power cord before you do any assem- bly or adjustment tasks! Otherwise, serious per- sonal injury to you or oth- ers may occur! Screw For Blower Figure 8. Upper saw adjustments. -14- Drop Foot Lock Knob Adjustment...
2. Turn the variable speed/power knob clock- wise to turn the scroll saw ON. 3. Once the scroll saw is running, listen for any unusual noises. The machine should run smoothly with little or no vibrations.
Blade Information Important issues regarding blade perfor- mance: • Scroll saw blades wear out and must be replaced frequently. Typically a blade will stay sharp anywhere from depending on how the blade is used and what type of material is being cut.
6. Adjust the drop foot onto the surface of the workpiece. 7. Plug the scroll saw in and perform the cut- ting operation. 8. When the cutting operation is complete, unplug the scroll saw and remove the saw blade.
The arm bearings (Figure 12) on each side of the scroll saw need to be lubricated after every 6-10 hours of use. Unplug the saw, lay it on its side, and apply a generous amount of SAE 20 oil. Let stand overnight.
